Hi,

I created a custom presentation, that I want to use.

I could successfully do it via the deprecated api: IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer.setPresentationFactory()

However I could not do it via setting the org.eclipse.ui/presentationFactoryId.
This is what I did:
- created a file called preferences.ini in the plugin's root directory
- typed in the following: org.eclipse.ui/presentationFactoryId=my.presentation.factory
- modified the plugin.xml:

         <property
               name="preferenceCustomization"
               value="preferences.ini">
         </property>

The default presentation is loaded instead of mine.

Setup:
- My run configuration runs the product
- All required plugins are added to the run configuration
- Target Platform: subset of Ganymede (3.4)

Thanks for any help.

Regards,
Marton

you could try to set the preferences by hand

i.e. before creating workbench:

PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setDefault(
IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.PRESENTATION_FACTORY_ID,
"your.ID.To.be.loaded");

It does look correct.
org.eclipse.ui/presentationFactoryId=your.presentation.facto ry.id

And then
<property name="preferenceCustomization" value="preferences.ini"/>

Make sure that your build.properties includes the new preferences.ini file in its binary output

Is there anything in your <runtime-workspace>/.metadata/.log? Adding -consoleLog to an RCP app will print errors to the console.

I tried to set the property from the code as Christian suggested, but no luck.

Than I had to update the application and the product from SVN, and the problem has gone.
Since no one else touches the presentation, it is still mysterious what the problem was.

Thank you for your answers, I will post again, if the problem reappears.

Best regards,
Marton
